..and i am back to boring Perth. well, it’s been 3 days ago since i got here and i’m still having my semester break. next week will be my semester 2 and i am so nervous because i will be taking marketing and i am sucks at Business studies. i hope marketing will be good to me :( ergh.
anyway, lately i’ve been thinking of going out from Perth. Permanently. after i finish my foundation study here, i hope that i can take my degree in Melbourne. but, things will get complicated and the reason why i wanna go there isn’t necessary; it’s not like because there are good benefits or a scholarship or something. The time differences between my country and Melbourne is 4 hours earlier! compare to Perth, it’s only 1 hour earlier and you know I have my family and that “guy” (haha, he must be really mad) back there want to know my condition and stories through Skype. Then, i have to make new friends again and new things keep on going, i need to find the buses and trains.
but, why Melbourne?
well, i know it’s an crazy excuse but i like lively city and maybe it can help me to become more active instead of being a laid back lady (u know most of people here are so laid back. errr.. is melbourne too? or Australia is laid back country? hmm..) and maybe it is time for me to choose what i want; because at the first place, i have no idea what Perth would be like and most people said that perth is SOOO QUIET and SOOO BORING, i was like ‘really? have you been there?’ and they were like ‘Yes! long time ago! like 5-7 years ago!’ i was like ‘…’ c’mon guys, 5 years ago? really? Perth would be change by now, maybe there will be entertainment stuffs. So i check on Google, what Perth would be like and the pictures show me clear enough that it’s not a QUIET and BORING city after all! there are buildings and seems like urban and lively! i thought it will be like a complete village or country-style or even almost desert; and when i got here, my guardian took me to the city and he said that ‘this is it, this is the city’ and i was like ‘errr what? just this? this is the urban and live city?’
well, for me, city is like really busy and urban but… Perth isn’t. maybe Sydney is, Melbourne.. almost. so, kinda regret it.. If only I was aggressive enough back then, when my mom ask me where do I want to study (which is Singapore, because i’ve been there a lot of time and i know how to take the buses and MRT and i know quite well the places and I like the place so much! and the foods too :9) maybe, I would be satisfy by now maybe i will not post this long story of mine maybe things will not as complicated as now.
But I know, I can’t do that. This is my choice and I can’t cancel it but I can move on. If only i got the chance to restart everything, from where my parent ask me where i wanna study, I WOULD, I really really would take the chance and tell them where I wanna go. Maybe it sounds like i wanna study in a place where it is modern and live and urban (well, yeah.. i want to :p) but it is more than that, it is the regrets of a girl who underestimate her future and let her parent do the math.
BUT, in this case, i can’t regret and regret.. being thankful is really needed right now. i am thankful that i got here (are you sure em?? LOL) so many people would die to be in my place right now. so, i just need to realize and fit in and study (ergh. will post something about my ‘study’ life soon! just got an idea about it! hah!)
geez, i think this is would be the longest post i ever written! haha and I am kinda proud of it. it’s been a while and there are LOT of things in my mind lately that i wanna share!
soo, see you next time. will be posting about me going back to Jakarta-Bali laterr !!
au revoir!
